What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 January 2024
Pupils happily attend this friendly and caring school. Staff and pupils have positive relationships with each other. There is a culture of mutual respect. Pupils are confident that adults in the school will help them with any worries or concerns. This means pupils feel safe and are safe. Pupils live up to the staff's high expectations in terms of work and behaviour. Classrooms are quiet and orderly. This means that pupils can work hard and concentrate. The pupils know that getting the best out of their learning is important as it will help them in the future. They achieve well. Pupils learn to understand and celebrate differences. They show compassion and kindness to others. Pupils know that everyone is unique. They are proud of their school and their peers. Pupils love to help. They take on extra responsibilities with enthusiasm and excitement. Pupils learn much from these. For instance, they learn to be sensible role models and give back to their community. This helps pupils to be well prepared for the next stage in their education and life beyond school.
What the school should improve
- The changes made to the implementation of a small number of subjects are not yet fully and consistently in place. Staff are not yet fully delivering all the content and pedagogical approaches as leaders intend. This means that pupils are not making as much progress in these subjects as they could. The school needs to evaluate the effectiveness of teaching and assessment on pupils' learning and put in place support and training where needed.
